Is that the special Zana Deux we all loved? The one you took away from us?

Btw I call dibs if you ever want to sell it.

Yeah, @Melvillian it's that one. We both know how special this one is. I honestly don't know if I'll ever want to let it go!

Yeah it’s better than a stock ZDS. It just has this sweetness to it.

Oh yeah, for sure. It took weeks to settle in... and I discovered my life isn't as "minimal" as I'd hoped. I still haven't set up and fired up a bunch of things... including the 3D printer to start the next phase of my pet project.

I hate moving. The payoff of the new place does not pay off until a month or so down the road. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, definitely! It's tiring as hell. The stacks of boxes are very demoralizing to look at... and Comcast is taking their sweet time with burying new cable so I'm stuck using cellular for work.

And death of quality

Topping all the things!

I have a GO2A std that has been on at my desk at work every day for years now, and often on overnight too. No issues. I also have a SE that does less strenuous duty but did serve for many months as my primary device for monitors, also no issues. Maybe because they don't move around much so no impacts?

I'm not a programmer and am just riffing off an old joke I heard, but if I'm afforded any opportunity to display my poor humour, especially at the expense of a shady company, I'll happily bite :))

And psh, I'm grateful for any instruction. Let's just say I owe you tea or otherwise if and when we get to hang out, haha.

And I'm still waiting for anything better in this form factor. Looking at Hel for work when that lands, though, but that's a different deal altogether.

It's just you!

India just elected a Modi. Same model as last time.

Yeah, maybe I'm just so happy to finally have a decent sounding DAC that only needs to have a single USB cable plugged in to operate (RCA non-withstanding). Reduces cluster on my desk. Not like I don't already have 10-20 other cables running all around... Plus my outlet is happier, too. Win win.

Sorry, that one was just sitting there, had to take it.

did you use the bathroom and drop a deuce?

Did he recover from his dropsy?

That might be the being married/more grown up than the being away thing :)

Listening to new music beats listening to new gear like listening to music beats listening to gear in general, are you still searching or are you just enjoying, this ties in well with what @zerodeefex wrote

Welcome back :)

Mate, good to hear from you..

Great celebrations! Best wishes and happiness!

I think Bill-p's siren song now is Yesterday...the Beatles :)

Congratulations! I wish you many happy years.

Hey get back to your corner who said your ban was over! Jk welcome back amigo.

I'm up for a Bay Area meet.

I'm up for a Bay Area meet also, and have room for 3 passengers. :)

Which pads? Most of what I've read about the Dekoni pads with the HD 6xx has been negative. Which kept me from buying pads.

Yeah there were like 4 different choices so I'm also curious which ones you are referring to?

I just measured them all here:

Long story short: I don't think they'll fit the HD6XX, but... other headphones in the series, on the other hand... :)

welcome back! I dream of SBAF buying two of the same audio products, sending one to you and one to @Hands for a "Mod contest". see who shreds it fastest and bestest.

I'll probably lose. Less time and interest these days to mod everything.

Thanks, guys! It's good to be back! And nah... no mod contest please. I've actually not modded too many things for the last half year!

I'm in Denver right now for a conference. Wish I had time to visit the CO hosers.

yes dudes, visit but give us advance notice so we can meet up.
heck, ZD probably has never even seen denver- much less an authentic burrito diner downtown.
move here and be subject to modding every headphone possible with @Hands and living amongst healthy people who educate up.

@jexby: burritos are total crap in Colorado. There's something weirdly fundamentally wrong with what's considered a good burrito here compared to California.

Bill-P HD580 mod guide - Great news!

Heard so much about the modded 580 and always wondered why there was no guide for it. Thanks for sharing. Now I need to find a 580

@Melvillian - I haven't been looking lately but Ebay was a good place when I was. (Just took a look, a bit more expensive than it used to be but still not bad, IMO. And it changes all of the time.)

Hi. I'm a bit biased when it comes to Code-X, since it's pretty much my perfect reference when it comes to response (down to measurement), so there's that.

But the expectation is basically a more (much more) sensitive 4-screw HE-6 with slightly smoother transient and everything else somewhat the same, even down to tonality.

I'm assuming you're referring to a modded 4-screw HE-6 and not a stock one? I always felt my modded HE-6 was light on sub-bass even out of my speaker amps, and I'm hoping my Code-X will improve in this area, as well as be rid of that 9-10k peak that the 6 has.

Yeah. I have heard ohhgourami's modded HE-6, and that's what I was referring to. If you are hearing the HE-6 as being light on sub bass, then I suspect you might want to try a different amp. It's not just power that you're looking for. Code-X is indeed a lot better with regards to amping requirements.

Luckily with @Marvey posting his evil overlord manifesto, there haven't been a donkey-cartload of posts despite the number of visitors. Barring the Cavalli Massdrop thread, which I might have to unwatch so I stop effing getting emails about it.
